The ALFEE Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (41–50)
COMPLEX BLUE – Only Love Is Too SadTHE ALFEE50rank/position

This sings of a woman’s sorrow after parting from the man she loves.
He has another partner, and their relationship is forbidden.
She understands that, but she can’t help loving him deeply.
The two love each other profoundly, yet they have no choice but to part.
It’s unbearably painful, but because it’s an affair and they can’t be together openly, she has to give up…

A letter with no addresseeTHE ALFEE51rank/position

It was released in 1981 as The Alfee’s 10th single.
The lyrics and music were written by Toshihiko Takamizawa, and as with the previous single, Sakazaki served as the lead vocalist.
This celebrated song appears on many albums, and its poignant, lonely lyrics—evoking a heartbreaking letter with no recipient—leave a strong impression.
At the time, it was unusual for a man to sing lyrics expressing a woman’s feelings.
The song poignantly conveys the pain of a woman who still has lingering feelings for the man she parted with.
spring stormTHE ALFEE52rank/position

This is a song by THE ALFEE included on the album “ONE -Venus of Rock-.” Its powerful sound carries a hint of hard rock, and the contrast with lyrics that depict feelings of regret is striking.
While it’s a straightforward breakup song—portraying someone watching cherry blossom petals dance, looking back on shared memories, and being filled with regret—the weight of the sound seems to convey the depth of those emotions.
Promised LoveTHE ALFEE53rank/position

This is the 35th single, released in 1992.
It became the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Pole Position! To My Beloved…” and was a hit.
It’s a beautiful ballad about the relationship of two people who have exchanged vows of love.
From The Past To The FutureTHE ALFEE54rank/position

This song is included on their 19th album, “örb,” released in 1999.
It’s a simple ballad featuring the trio’s beautiful vocal harmonies over a melody reminiscent of their folk-song era.
It is also performed live by just the three members.
VictoryTHE ALFEE55rank/position

This is a song that was used as the official anthem of the Yokohama Flügels, a former J.League soccer team.
It was released in 1993 as their 37th single.
Not limited to soccer, it’s a track that seems perfect for pumping you up before any sporting event.
I dedicate this loveTHE ALFEE56rank/position

This is the 59th single, which served as the ending theme for the animated film Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection.
As the story goes, since Toshihiko Takamizawa was a huge fan of the Space Battleship Yamato series, he ended up composing the song; true to that, the track brims with a powerful, palpable intensity in every detail.
